Les Roches postgraduate degree programs attract a large number of career changers — students who have a degree or professional experience in a field outside of hospitality, but who need the specific knowledge and skill set needed to manage hospitality businesses, such as hotels, restaurants, events and luxury retail. Our innovative hotel management programs at the postgraduate level also serve hospitality professionals who want to fine-tune their skills in management, entrepreneurship, marketing and other areas.

Our accelerated curriculum of hotel management, marketing and business administration courses will expose you to the operational management and strategic issues that global hospitality managers face today. The postgraduate program will fast-track your development of the critical knowledge, skills and networks needed for managerial positions in the industry. You will sharpen your leadership abilities and entrepreneurial skills as you become a confident decision maker.

Integrated practical projects allow you to apply your knowledge and develop your skills on campus. In addition, a professional internship semester is built into all Les Roches postgraduate diploma programs, allowing you to gain expertise from real-life experience.
